'''Dr. Mario''' is the persona [[Mario]] assumes in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]]. Under this identity, Mario dons a lab coat, a head mirror, and a stethoscope around his neck. Debuting in [[Dr. Mario (game)|his eponymous game]],  Dr. Mario and his assistant [[Princess Peach|Nurse Toadstool]] work at the [[Mushroom Kingdom Hospital]], where he eliminates [[virus]]es and other diseases by using [[capsule]]s, a premise that has been the standard for subsequent games starring him. Dr. Mario also appears as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he is considered a separate character from Mario, with a similar situation happening between Samus Aran and Zero Suit Samus.
